Questions of Václav Moravec
Havlík, Martin
The paper deals with the questioning done by one particular popular Czech host of political debates in his TV show and also in radio broadcasting interviews. I suggest that the best way to analytically capture the host’s questions is to combine qualitative and quantitative approaches. By analysing one excerpt and a few interviews with the former president of the Czech Republic, Václav Havel, I show that the host asks his guests rather hostile questions and in this way controls the flow of the interviews or debates.

The DIALOG corpus is a special corpus of spoken Czech, consisting of video recordings and transcripts of television discussions. The working form of the corpus contains more than two million words. In the introductory section of this paper, we discuss the motivation that led the researchers from the Czech Language Institute, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic to collect and analyze dialogical speech, and we also present an overview of the publications based on work with the corpus. In the second section, we provide information about turning the collected material into an electronic linguistic corpus and about the basic characteristics of the working version of the DIALOG corpus and its first public version, known as DIALOG 0.1 (http://ujc.dialogy.cz). In the concluding section, we present the anticipated schedule for releasing the corpus for public access; we also indicate some currently relevant areas of research that can benefit from using the DIALOG corpus.
